What Is External Wall Insulation?

External Wall Insulation (EWI) is one of the most effective ways to enhance your property’s energy performance. By applying a thermal barrier to the outer walls, EWI prevents heat loss, eliminates cold spots, and protects your home from the elements. It’s especially effective for older buildings or homes without cavity walls, offering both performance and aesthetic upgrades.

With a wide range of colours and finishes available, EWI also allows homeowners to modernise their property’s look while lowering energy bills and improving internal comfort. It’s a smart, long-lasting solution to increase property value and reduce environmental impact.

Who Is It For?

Perfect for solid wall properties, older homes with no existing insulation, and anyone facing high heating bills, drafts, or visible damp issues. If you’re looking to modernise your home and reduce running costs — this is for you.

They took care of the funding side and arranged the work around my schedule. The house feels cosier, and it’s good to know the energy bills will be lower moving forward. Helpful generally.

They handled the process from start to finish, including all the paperwork, so I didn’t have to worry. I’ve already noticed the house retains heat much better, and I’m using the heating far less.
